🤝 ADVOCATING TOGETHER FOR OUR COMMUNITY 🤝

💙 Last week, we were delighted to welcome Dr Mike Freelander MP back to Mater Dei. He has been a valued supporter and advocate for Mater Dei and the people we serve for many years.

💬 The visit provided an opportunity to reconnect with our leaders, educators, therapists and staff, and share how we support children, students, participants and families across our community.

🌱 Discussions focused on the changing NDIS landscape and the potential implications for children, families and service providers. Dr Freelander was keen to hear about the opportunities and challenges our community is experiencing and the importance of ensuring people with disability can access the right supports throughout childhood and into adulthood.

🙌 We thank Dr Freelander for visiting Mater Dei and continuing to advocate for individuals and families who need additional support. We appreciate his ongoing interest in our work and his commitment to the issues that matter most to our community.
